Sitting on his lap, Gu Jin raised her hand to touch the cheek that An Mingji had just brushed against.
For a brief mont, her heartbeat went awry, and her back straightened unconsciously.
This feeling was so unfamiliar that she couldn’t quite describe it.
Both of them were already adults; they shouldn’t be fooling around like when they were kids.
Yet, deep down, Gu Jin felt no aversion to An Mingji’s intimacy; in fact, her heart raced a bit, and her body had so reactions that were unfamiliar to her.
Gu Jin lowered her gaze, staring into An Mingji’s clear eyes. His face was serene.
A faint smile appeared on his handso and gentle face, along with a closeness that hadn’t faded even though they had been apart for a year.
Seeing his calm expression, Gu Jin’s dazed look quickly recovered.
She made a fist and lightly punched the boy’s shoulder, "You little scoundrel! Always taking advantage of !"
Gu Jin shifted over and sat on the sofa beside them.
"Awooo—"
Duoduo, not wanting to be left out, squeezed between them, letting out a low whine to make its presence known.
To hide the slight unease in her heart, Gu Jin hugged Duoduo, letting its head rest on her leg.
Seeing this, An Mingji reached out and pushed Duoduo off her leg.
He naturally turned to lie on Gu Jin’s lap, his long legs draped over the sofa armrest.
The large sofa couldn’t even contain him.
Clearly, he had grown a lot over the year.
Gu Jin looked down and glanced at An Mingji helplessly.
This familiar behavior dispelled her previous inexplicable emotions.
Back then, little An was just like this, always at odds with Duoduo.
Whenever Duoduo got close to her, he would always push it away to show his position in the house.
eting her helpless gaze, An Mingji’s lips curved into a grievance-filled smile, "A-Jin, this guy has been hogging you for a year; it’s finally my turn."
Listen to that childish talk, hardly the words of soone who has beco the leader of the Darwin Family.
An Mingji didn’t hide his willfulness or his never-publicly-shown childishness in front of Gu Jin.
On his handsoly enchanting face, there was none of the cold authority he showed to his subordinates, only tenderness, closeness, childishness, and pampering that ca from deep within.
Because of An Mingji’s very natural closeness, Gu Jin felt close to him in return.
She familiarly stroked Little An’s hair, noticing the bluish tint beneath his glasses.
She frowned slightly, "Haven’t been resting well? You even have dark circles."
The boy’s slender, jade-like hand gently pressed on Gu Jin’s hand as she stroked his hair.
An Mingji held her hand and brought it to his eyes, gently playing with it, pouting as he whined, "It’s all Allen and their fault for not being capable enough, always making worry."
Standing not far away, like an invisible man, Allen widened his eyes in disbelief upon hearing this.
What does he an by them being ineffective?
He and his brothers felt wronged, didn’t they?
Recently, the Young Master was attacked and injured by so unknown creature, and it was finally traced back to the Short Country.
Before they returned ho, the Young Master personally blew up a certain base in the Short Country.
This happened just a few hours before they returned ho.
After dealing with those unruly pests, the Young Master wasted no ti in arranging everything and couldn’t wait to bring them back.
Allen stared resentfully at the Young Master lying on the Young Madam’s lap, looking thoroughly enjoying himself while an endless stream of complaints flowed through his mind.
Isn’t this just abandoning duty for... distraction?
